A Poignant Turn by Kirk Richardson (Edison State, Intro to S)
I would like to know what the catalyst was that resulted in the dissipation of masculinity. I’m not talking about the increasing femininity among men; I’m talking about The Pedestal. In no way am I attempting to knock women, quite the opposite really. Men seem to have lost the primordial go-getter edge. It seems we have allowed ourselves to fall victim to society’s conditioning that dictates beautiful women are something to be feared.
If I come off condescending, I apologize; that is not my intent. I do not claim immunity from these predilections, and I too find myself with a knot in my throat when I plan to approach said women. However, I do my best to fight The Good Fight, and feign confidence. I find it necessary to do so, because if you begin to pass on the small things that play upon your sympathetic nervous system, the affliction metastasizes, and soon you become consumed with timidness.
Women, in all their grandeur, are still individuals despite all of the disparities creating the gulf between the opposite sex. The fear that manifests hesitation should be nipped in the bud. For if we fall victim to sociological pressures, we lose our individuality.
